Jazz for aficionados

Frogman, you sure know how to write, but you don't know how to reason; when genes are dispersed in such a casual manner, the only thing certain is the origin of the genes; the Black genes came from Africa. If you had studied all the various tribes of Africa as I have, you know what an incredibly diverse place it was before "they sold slaves". Unless the genes were dispersed scientifically, there could be no conclusion of who has them, or how they will be manifested.

People Black as the Ace of Spades have managed to be successful in the European manner when they came out of slavery; how this occurred is a mystery to "everybody". It's no mystery how the light skinned blacks who were educated because they were the masters offspring prospered; but how Black people as black as the Ace of spades prospered is most certainly a mystery to me.

When discussing something of this nature, a million people and a 50 year time span is not exorbitant.

When talking about anything or anybody, the most important question is; who was his daddy. Then we can go from there. Was he the little baby boy who was delivered to the penthouse in New York, or was he the sharecroppers son. (no matter what color, he got a tough roe to hoe.)

It's not a matter of blaming "Whitey" because he's in the same boat; the aristocracy has played it that way.

Schubert, with you at the Frogman's side, what has he to fear?

O-10:

The Wikiman has long been accepted, and established, by popular consensus, as the go-to guy for all things music on Audiogon.   Therefore, he can NEVER be wrong,  or at least he can NEVER admit it, without losing some of luster off his reputation.

So quite naturally, all the members(audiophiles) support him.   He's one of them.   He can even hear wire.   Which is even more amazing than his nonsensical pronouncements on the origins of Jazz.   I think we should just understand all this and move on.

We know the truth and we have spoken it.   All the Wikiman knows is what he learned in school.  We should not blame him, people go to school to learn.   The problem is, he never saw the larger picture, or the proper context of what he was being taught.  

I think our school was a little different.  We learned the official line, and lived and experienced the real line.

Jazz anyone?

O-10, you never said if Trombone Shorty was playing Jazz or not.

Cheers

@frogman - pleased you enjoyed the Bunny Brunel clip.  YES!  Frank Gambale...you are exactly right about that  For me it was a bit of serendipity as I'd recently been enjoying Steve Smith/Vital Information "Come On In".  Became aware of Gambale there.  Great sound.  Great inventive playing I thought.  The SQ on that Momentum recording...even from Spotify is really really good.

@rok2id - You have much to offer in this thread as you have repeatedly demonstrated.  While I understand you disagree with Frogman (and others) on various matters related to jazz and "audiophilia",  ridicule does not advance your position(s).  It has progressed beyond childish and tedious to generally unpleasant, becoming  a good reason not to follow this thread or at least your contributions to it.
